It's not about freedom, it's about limiting it for the users. Users
must be free to install non-free extensions and plug-ins if they want
to.

An off-topic question: why've you chosen this naming scheme? Why
'legacy'? In particular, I'm not going to switch to GTK+3 any time
soon, and guess I'm not alone, so it can't be legacy, I think.

RFS: bmake -- NetBSD make

2011-08-13 Thread Andrew O. Shadoura
Hello,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package 'bmake'.

* Package name: bmake
  Version : 20110622-1
  Upstream Author : Simon J. Gerraty 
* URL : http://www.crufty.net/help/sjg/bmake.htm
* License : BSD
  Section : devel

It builds this binary package:
bmake - NetBSD make

The upload would fix these bugs: #476267, #627983.

The original packaging was done by NetBSD developer Aleksey Cheusov.
Together with Jeroen Schot we're working on this package maintainance.

This package is important as pmake that's currently in Debian is too
old and obsolete, and bmake's absense is preventing some software from
entering Debian.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/bmake
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/bmake/bmake_20110622-1.dsc

Also, it's kept under version control here:
http://anonscm.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/bmake

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Well, using VCS is entirely optional while it's definitely good and

tkpath review

2011-08-11 Thread Andrew O. Shadoura
Hello Vitaly,

I'm glad to see you're going to maintain tkpath, as it's really useful
piece of software (and I thought of making a package myself once).

However, your packaging ([1]) has some problems which would be good to
fix.

Also, I'm not a DD so I can't upload, sorry :)

Well, let's start. Sure, that's not everything, but just things I could
spot easily.

i) debian/changelog: your entry must close an ITP bug (don't put xx
there, open a real bug report; you can use reportbug program to
simplify this).

ii) Most probably you don't want to create a native package (read
maintainer's documentation on this [2]), therefore the package's
version should be 0.3.1-1. Please change debian/source/format too.

iii) Your package build-depends on debhelper (>= 7.0.50~) but doesn't
seem to actually use any features of it. I'd recommend you to actually
use dh7's short form, which makes it possible to radically reduce
the number of lines your debian/rules file. That also highlights your
changes to the boilerplate rules file and makes them easy to spot.
Also, if the build process changes in the future, the changes will be
minimal.

iv) Your debian/control says the package depends on '${shlibs:Depends},
${misc:Depends}, tk8.5 , tcl8.5'. First, I'd remove the extra after
tk8.5, but are you sure it's really 8.5? You'd better use
${tcl:Depends} and ${tk:Depends} and tcltk-depends helper from tk-dev
package, on which you should build-depend if you use it.

v) Also, in the same file you build-depend on tcl8.5-dev and tk8.5-dev.
That means, I can't build the package if I have no 8.5 packages
installed but I do have {tcl,tk}8.4-dev and {tcl,tk}8.6-dev. You should
depend on tk-dev and tcl-dev. I'm pretty sure the package will build on
8.4 too, but please test and add versioned dependencies if it doesn't.

vi) mv $(CURDIR)/debian/tmp/usr/lib/* $(PDIR)/usr/lib/tcltk. This step
is not needed AFAIK, the dirs file listing /usr/lib/tcltk is not as
well. Looking at tclxml package, it works perfectly
from /usr/lib/Tclxml3.x, so should tkpath.

vii) You have debian/docs empty, but list doc/* in debian/rules as
`dh_installdocs doc/*`. Please use debian/docs instead.

viii) debian/control again. You have the following short description:
'It is an extension package to Tcl/Tk for the canvas widget'. Drop 'It
is'. Just something like 'Tcl/Tk improved canvas widget' would be
enough, I think. Also, remove ANNOUNCE stuff from the long description
and clean it up a bit.

ix) Vcs-* fields. Put your packaging under version control and upload
it to Alioth using whatever VCS you like (it may be Git or Mercurial or
anything else). There are some tools which simplify (or not really) the
workflow when using VCS, you may be interested in using them. Then
uncomment Vcs-* fields and put the actual URLs there. Don't forget to
commit changes!

x) After you fix the problems above, don't forget to run your packaging
through lintian and fix at least the most important problems it
indicates. Then, please read the Policy changelog, find out what's
changed between 3.8.4 and 3.9.2 and determine if it concerns you.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Please keep the
mailing list CC'ed (also, you may want to subscribe to it).

When you have any progress, upload what you did to mentors/debexpo
and post a message here.

This package doesn't make any sense without LD_PRELOAD, it's all about
the library which gets preloaded to hook into some Berkeley sockets
functions.

Because it has to be dynamic --- it gets LD_PRELOADed into the process.

There isn't a bug filed, but as my tnat64 is actually a fork of tsocks

Why not just make it a format, e.g. require that some things must
presents here, some another must be there, but leave it relatively
free-form?

Personally I like using something like traditional d/c plus some DEP5
fields if necessary.

For me, strict DEP5 is extremely hard to read unlike what was before it

You can also drop libid3 as it is now and write a wrapper around some
better ID3 tagging library that has the same (or compatible) interface
as libid3. Also, I'd merge id3 and id3v2 into one package, or even
one binary, which would behave differently depending on its argv[0].

* Package name: mcs
  Version : 0.7.2-1
  Upstream Author : William Pitcock 
* URL : http://www.atheme.org/projects/mcs
* License : BSD
  Section : libs

It builds these binary packages:
libmcs-backend-gconf - GNOME GConf backend for libmcs
libmcs-dev - development library and headers for libmcs1
libmcs-doc - documentation files for libmcs1
libmcs-utils - tools for the maintenance of the mcs system
libmcs1- abstraction library to store configuration settings

The upload would fix these bugs: 521010.

I'd like to maintain this package as the current maintainer isn't doing
any maintainance since 2008.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mcs
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mcs/mcs_0.7.2-1.dsc

Also, it's kept under version control here:

This maybe should include -source as the part of the package name (I'm
not sure, however, but I'd do it that way).

My opinion is that the description is a bit messy. You don't 'accept
connections via MAC addresses', basically. And you can't literally have
'UDP packets with a MAC-address as destination', as far as my knowledge
of TCP/IP stack suggests.

I would call these packages this way:

mactelnet-client - Client for Microtic proprietary MAC Telnet protocol

 Ping, discovery and telnet tools for connecting to Mikrotik RouterOS
 devices, or other MAC Telnetd powered machines/devices.
 .
 This tool can communicate with servers using Microtik proprietary MAC
 Telnet protocol. You can connect to Linux machines that
 have installed mactelnet-server, or a Mikrotik RouterOS device.
 .
 Included are also MNDP discovery application, and macping to ping via
 the mactelnet protocol.
 .
 These tools have nothing to do with Telnet protocol specified by RFC
 854 and 855.


mactelnet-server - Server for Microtik proprietary MAC Telnet protocol

 The remote access server that uses Mikrotik proprietary MAC Telnet
 protocol. This enables to users to access the host using MAC Telnet
 protocol.
 .
 This package has nothing to do with Telnet protocol specified by RFC
 854 and 855.

RFS: tnat64 -- IPv4 to NAT64 redirector

2011-04-29 Thread Andrew O. Shadoura
Hello,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package 'tnat64'.

* Package name: tnat64
  Version : 0.02-1
  Upstream Author : Andrew O. Shadoura 
* URL : https://bitbucket.org/andrew_shadoura/tnat64/
* License : GPL-2+
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : IPv4 to NAT64 redirector

It builds these binary packages:
tnat64 - IPv4 to NAT64 redirector

The upload would fix these bugs: 624490

I would like to have this program in Debian because too many programs
support IPv6 poorly or do not support at all, and not always it's easy
to add the support or fix one which is broken, so this software can
help users in situations when the system is IPv6-only, and some
application requires IPv4 to work properly.

TNAT64 is derived from tsocks, another TCP traffic interceptor written
by Shaun Clowes in 2000.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tnat64
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tnat64/tnat64_0.02-1.dsc

Also, the package can be found on Alioth, where its DVCS repository
resides:

  http://hg.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/tnat64/

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Thanks in advance.

RFS: twms -- tiny web map service

2010-08-07 Thread Andrew O. Shadoura
Hello.

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "twms".

* Package name: twms
  Version : 0.01q-1
  Upstream Author : Darafei Praliaskouski 
* URL : http://code.google.com/p/twms
* License : GPL-3+
  Section : science

It builds these binary packages:
twms   - tiny web map service

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 587522

I want this package in Debian, and I want to maintain it because many people 
(including me) use this quite often, as tWMS is useful enough.

tWMS is most used as a caching proxy for WMS and TMS services. Most typical 
its usage is as follows:
 - Yahoo! aerial imagery is provided as a JavaScripted web service, not as WMS
 - JOSM, the Java OpenStreetMap editor, uses WMS
 - local tWMS instance can fetch imagery from Yahoo! and provide it as WMS

The package is quite popular in the OpenStreetMap community.

Also, I know author personally, so it's easy for me to contact upstream.

The package can be found on alioth.debian.org:
- Mercurial repository: http://hg.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/twms/

Fixed.

Fixed, but it worked, hmm, a little bit strange: it added a dependency on tcl, 
but haven't added a dependency on tcllib. The first is not necessary when the 
second present. But I left {$tcl:Depends} in place and just added tcllib 
manually. Not sure it's the best way, though.

Hello.

The previous maintainer on tclxml package orphaned it, while package has a bug 
rendering it completely unusable, and there's a new upstream version available 
with that bug fixed.

I'd like to take over maintainance, and I need a sponsor for that.

 TclXML provides event-based parsing of XML documents.  The
 application may register callback scripts for certain document
 features, and when the parser encounters those features while parsing
 the document the callback is evaluated.
